Houston scores 106.1 points a game (first in NBA), but it also gives up 103.3 points on the other end (29th). Smith can add more to a potent offense and help fix a struggling defense.

In the half-court offense, Smith is a dynamic player that can post up, drive strongly to the basket or spot up for a mid-range jumper.

Although, what goes somewhat unnoticed about Smith is his passing ability as a power forward. He is averaging five assists a game in the month of February, and by putting him with other multiple-threat players like James Harden and Jeremy Lin, he should only get better.

Defensively, Smith's 6'9" athletic frame can cause a lot of problems.

Houston only averages 4.1 blocks a game (27th) and Smith's 2.15 blocks a game (seventh) would certainly help its defensive presence out.

Also, blocked shots can lead to transition baskets the other way. On a Rockets team that thrives on running the floor, Smith would fit in perfectly with his electrifying play and strength above the rim.

The Rockets sent a message to the NBA in the offseason with their additions of Harden, Lin and OmerAsik.

According to HoopsHype.com, Harden is the only player with a contract guaranteed after the 2014-15 season. Lin and Asik are due to make $5 million this season, $5.25 million next year and just under $15 million in 2014-15.

There are no other significant contracts.

If the Houston front office can figure out the 2014-15 season and can figure out a team option with Chandler Parsons for under $1 million through 2014-15, then the Rockets organization can figure out a chance to land Smith.
